Customize Chrome Error Pages

Hello,

I need to configure/customize/rewrite Chromium so it will automatically reconnect to it's startpage whenever a connection error occurs.
The reason for this is because the browser will NOT be operated by a user. It will be running on a PC mounted behind a TV that is hanging on a wall.

So any communication errors (404, 500-errors, timeouts, DNS-errors etc.) needs to be trapped so I can redirect to the startpage that will reside on localhost.

How can/should I implement this?

- Is there some local errorpage in chrome that I can customize?
- Should I write some Chrome extension? (Have done that once for Firefox)
- Should I rewrite some code and recompile Chromium?

I though this would be as easy as for Firefox (writing a small add-on) but I have not been able to find any examples trapping response codes or timeouts.
